Hello
It seems from the history that you are having swelling of the punctum with watering.
This is because of inflammation involving the lacrimal drainage system like punctum, canaliculi or lacrimal sac.
Hence this requires evaluation by ophthalmologist to find out the underlying cause and treatment accordingly.
